original…it would be based on
the intellectual property of RWBY…If we
were to ever make a fighting game of this, I would want to really
spearhead that if possible.”

Now while RWBY has certainly been
popular in Japan, I never expected to hear something like this. Of
course on its own, this is just a cool idea. But then Kerry tweeted the article

was able catch Gray for a second to ask the question at the end of the
Fan Service Podcast panel. His response?

“We’ve said hello.”

And
that was all I needed to hear. If he had told me no that would have
